MEGA Mega Merged Stadium Thread.

Ruiz hasn't put "millions" into this. The renderings he released were extremely preliminary... probably cost like $20,000, if that. And the "promotion" has just been his Twitter account, which is free. He hasn't hired any lobbyists (none that are registered with the County, anyway). His completely unqualified son is the "project manager," for god's sake. He's put basically no real resources into this.

When it comes to this stadium project, Ruiz is either full of **** or completely delusional. Maybe both.

Unsurprisingly, you're misinformed. The engages HKS architects to design it. If you knew what it cost to walk in the door there you'd pee your pants, let alone for a stadium project.

@Rellyrell let em know whats up

EVERYONE agrees that Miami needs and deserves it own stadium. i have yet, however, to see anyone suggest a reasonable path forward other than saying Tropical because we need and deserve one. no one has iterated a reasonable resolution of the many obstacles of that location.

Plenty of space at Douglas and NW 7th Street. PLENTY.

I mean, not enough for a Formula 1 track and a tennis center and an NFL practice facility. But plenty.

please, come on meng, everyone east of US-1 will want the stadium to earn $10 a pop from parking and $20 for no blockee.

when you read that someone is proposing Gulliver, you realize that that person and many people here pushing a stadium are certifiably delusional.

With all due respect, I am not from Miami, dont live in Miami. I proposed Gulliver by looking on a map, and ASKED opinions so i am not delusional. I asked, those more in the know say it cant happen, i say ok. Furthermore, my initial point was the purchasing of PRIVATE land vs public.

I pointed out (in the Ed Reed thread) that Bethune-Cookman has a joint-use stadium with Father Lopez High School.

Yeah, the city actually owns the stadium where B-CU plays.

They played the State Championships there a couple years ago, which was great for us fans up here but a disaster for those traveling to the game because the stadium is on a rinky-dink two lane country road (unless they've redone it recently) and can't handle any real traffic.

I think when The West played against Orlando Jones, some of their fans couldn't get in the stadium until like late in the 3rd quarter.

The clock kept ******** up, too. Basically a North Florida trainwreck all weekend ... sure Ed Reed won't miss dealing with that place one bit.

(anyway, sorry for the thread detour)

You’re the clown that suggested that for games, there could be a fun “student walk“ to tropical park from campus.

You were actually promoting this idea. Over 4 miles.

My daughter had FMBC championships there a few years ago. If you're a big fan of bleachers and food trucks, it's your place.

Fitting the 216 luxury suites in there might be a task.

Yeah; they may have started w/ a hourly fee + retainer fee, but as more & more plans come together w/ an estimated per budget for the construction of the plan, that fee is going to swell tremendously. It depends on what stage, but to arbitrarily throw out a 5 figure # to work w/ a global architect firm that’s #1 in sports entertainment designs is foolish & condescending.

There are tons of students who live between campus and Tropical Park who would be glad to walk to/from home games at Life Wallet Stadium rahter than dirve/uber and get stuck in gridlock, but don't let that stop you from the repeated personal attacks.

Reported.

Of the 12,000 undergraduate students, what percentage would you say live between the university and the park and would both be willing to walk and attend games?

Let's say all 12000 would, how many people from the city would no longer attend because of the commute?

No, it's all good, I know LPGA very well from having worked in Daytona for years.

The I-4 exit to US 92 was improved, and the whole area around I-95 and US 92 is getting better, but you are correct, once you turn onto LPGA Boulevard, it's just a lonely 2-lane road. Which wouldn't be terrible if they just had a number of different places to park. But when you try to wedge everyone into one spot...yeah, it can get bad...

And trust me, Daytona is capable of handling traffic MUCH better. Had years of experience with event traffic at the Speedway.

he didn't engage HKS to design anything. He engaged HKS to prepare a draft site plan and some renderings, that's it. certainly not $20,000 but not millions, more like $100,000

Let’s say there was a sporting facility on campus that was literally 2 minutes away, would the students be willing to walk those 50 yards and take the two minutes to attend the games of one of the best teams in a college sport right now? Just a rhetorical question.

there isn't. the shopping center is 11 acres plus or minus. a stadium footprint alone is 20-25 acres (HRS is 25 acres). the 29 acres across the street was just sold to a casino entity and will likely be built out for the casino, hotel, shopping

I've said it before, that's why I like the Magic City Casino AREA (north plot and/or south plot). You could share parking. I think Inter is going to have some underground parking, that could be "the Yellow Lot", and you run shuttles.

With greyhound racing outlawed, only a small piece of the south plot is still in use as a building. Find another site, build a garage, and now you can grab both pieces of land.

Some parking garages, some surface parking, and some "neighborhood" parking. Win win win.

Would the Magic City Casino site have height restriction issues due to proximity to the Miami Airport diagonal runway?
